Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Daisy and Maisie

My little sisters tried on their new dresses and shoes today then took their "baby" for a little walk in the pram. :)


Face ups still need to be done and I'm still not sure about Daisy's wig (it's a bit too brown). I also think I need low dome eyes for her, as they are leaving a little gap between the eye and the resin.

Cardigans, in the same colour as their shoes are being made for the cooler days.

    That's such a perfect setting for these two - and the dresses suit them so well!

    I'm looking forward to seeing how they look with face-ups, but honestly, they're adorable now as-is!

      Thanks JS, this is one of my favourite backdrops and I was very particular about the fabric I wanted to use this time. Being redheads, I thought it would suit them perfectly.

      I'm just waiting for the weather down here to improve so I can get started on their face ups, I just hope I can do them justice. :)

    They look quite lovely together. I like their dresses and the curly hairstyle really suits them. The cardigan sounds like a neat idea, can't wait to see them when they are finished.

      Thanks Linda. It's getting hard to choose which backdrop to use now I have so many, but this one is a favourite. :)
